Most homes have a copy of at least one of her cookery books.But Delia has not only written about cookery - she has also written books in which she shares her Christian faith.In A Feast for Advent she offers a Bible passage, reflection and prayer for each day from Advent Sunday to Epiphany (6 January). In her reflections she shares her own insights on preparing for Christmas and on the Christmas story itself.'Delia provides us with the brief daily meditations and reflections which will sharpen our appetite and longing for the events of Christmas, but which also provide a satisfaction all their own. Delia Smith has made it possible for us to experience the real joy of Christmas' (From the Foreword by Mary Craig, writer and broadcaster)All royalties from this book go to the Quidenham Children's Hospice.
